Postcard Travels with Roland Poland - Week 4 - China

Having succumbed to a bite on the backside by a piranha, whilst swimming in the Amazon last week, our young hero has been taken under the wing of fellow canoe passenger, Xong Xui. Mr Xui is on a Chinese trade mission to Brazil and was enjoying a weekend's break up country when he became totally captivated by Roland's outgoing personality and enthusiasm for life. Unable to contemplate being parted from Roland, he smuggled him into China in his diplomatic bag. So his latest adventure begins ...

Roland Poland's postcard to Malcolm, his half brother in Carlisle, is of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. It is coloured with Distress Inks and Copic markers.

He writes:

Hi Malcolm,

The food is great and better than The Golden Chopstick in Lancaster. And get this! - they cook it in the STREETS! - Great for a grab and RUN.

Just like the old days

Cheers

Here is the page I made in Roland Poland's travel book

I have used chalk pastels, for the first time, to colour in the Great Wall. The characters represent Happiness and Harmony - attributes Roland Poland might find useful to keep together!

Hahaha...at the risk of offending others this is definitely my favourite story line :D(but then I'm a bit of a stray dog myself lol). I would happily join Roland on his travels :DYour depiction of the Temple of Heaven is glorious :D XXX
